Our Clients' Thoughts On Schneider Downs

"The support we receive from you staff is of the highest caliber and always greatly appreciated!"

"Excellent experience in the first year audit, and previously in an audit capacity with a former company."

"Great long term relationship."

"Exceptional client service."

"All of the Schneider Downs associates we deal with have been very good to work with and I would recommend them to any of our network for excellent accounting services."

"We have built a solid working relationship with Schneider Downs since they became our firm accountants in 2018. The knowledge of our firm's accounting systems has grown over the years and Schneider Downs plays an important role in providing accounting services and providing guidance to our firm."

"I have found Schneider Downs team members at every level that I've interacted with to be knowledgeable, professional, thorough, responsive and respectful. Schneider Downs is large enough to have the resources to serve our group of entities but small enough to be approachable and to take our tax related and business needs seriously."

"relationships with Tax & Audit staff are phenomenal - they answer and are attentive when we have issues and provide timely responses"

"SD has excellent technical skills as well as an excellent understanding of our business. We can talk openly about our business."

"We are very satisfied with the relationship. One-off project and/or consultancy work sometimes feels a bit overpriced which is the reason for the "sometimes" answer to one of the questions."
